How is this cheaper than hiring a security guard for a couple years?

In a couple of years, the bubble may have already burst.
Also, the robot is not just an employee, it’s an asset that can be sold off to pay debts in the event of bankruptcy.

Coreweave’s cost of debt is 8%. with 10 years life and no maintenance/electricity cost, that is $54k/year (generously low cost). A security guard can have a gun/rape whistle that stops an intruder, whereas for the robot that would be a premium classified extra option.

A security guard that looks after real dogs. German Shepards and belgian whatchacall thems are better at this than some overhyped clanker dog.

It’s not, but the robot doesn’t have morals or a conscience or alignment with human values to get in the way. Kinda like billionaires!
